Insulated bag with lifting apparatus

ABSTRACT

A soft sided insulated cooler bag has a base and side panels. The base includes a rigid or semi-rigid reinforcement or batten that serve to provide a relatively hard or stiff edge about which the bag can be panel folded over on itself. The upper edge of the bag has a length that is as great as half the periphery of the bottom panel. The bag can be collapsed to a flat position and then panel folded to a storage position. Retainers are provided to keep the bag in the storage position. The bag has lifting apparatus, which may be strap. The straps may be anchored to the bag at a plurality of anchor points, some of which may be sliding keepers, such that the handle can be moved to a first position in which the bag may be held in a predominantly up-and-down orientation, and to a second position in which the bag may be held in a predominantly flat or horizontal position.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an insulated bag with lifting apparatus showing my new design, the handles thereof loosely in a first position;

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the insulated bag with lifting apparatus of FIG. 1 in a standing position, with a handle thereof in a second position;

FIG. 3 shows a first side view of the insulated bag of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 shows an opposite side view of the insulated bag of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 shows a predominantly horizontal lifting position of the insulated bag of FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 6 shows a predominantly up and down position of the bag of FIG. 1.

The Applicant disclaims all parts of the article not shown in the drawings as forming no part of the claimed design. The broken lines in the drawings form no part of the design to be patented in respect of the embodiment shown in the drawing Figure in which the broken lines appear.

The shorter dashed lines in the areas not disclaimed are representative of stitching. 

I claim the ornamental design for an insulated bag with lifting apparatus, as shown and described.
